LSEG Risk Intelligence Launches Identity Gateway to Streamline Cross-Border Digital Identity Verification | LeapRate | Online Trading Industry News, Broker Intelligence & Fintech Analysis
LSEG Risk Intelligence has launched Identity Gateway, a new infrastructure layer designed to give organisations a single access point to multiple government-backed and regulated private digital identity schemes across borders — debuting at Money 20/20 Europe in Amsterdam.
As businesses expand internationally, integrating identity verification market by market has become a costly and time-consuming challenge. Identity Gateway, built on Microsoft Azure, addresses this by offering a standardised API and unified commercial framework through which organisations can connect to multiple digital identity schemes in one go. LSEG says the solution is designed to cut time-to-market by up to 80–90% compared with independent, market-by-market integration.
Initially, the platform provides access to schemes across 10 European markets, including Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Spain — countries where national digital identity schemes are already widely adopted — with further markets and providers expected to follow.
Daniel Flowe, Head of Digital Identity at LSEG Risk Intelligence, said: “Digital identity is reaching an inflection point. Identity Gateway helps solve that challenge by creating a standardised access layer that supports scale, reduces complexity and enables more trusted, higher-assurance digital experiences across borders.”
The launch comes as fragmentation in digital identity standards intensifies. Under the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet framework, all 27 EU member states are set to introduce their own implementation — a challenge Identity Gateway is specifically positioned to address.
The solution sits alongside LSEG Risk Intelligence’s existing data-based and document-based verification methods, forming part of a broader risk-based identity strategy that adapts checks to market conditions, regulatory requirements, and transaction risk levels.
